Buddies

These two have been bestest buddies for a few years now. Maddie is such a needy little clown. She is my absolute favorite dog and has made such a difference in K3's life. So much so that K3 wanted her in some of her senior pictures...
Because of Maddie, K3 was able for the first time in her life to take on the role of protector (instead of protected). In the shot above, she is 'saving' Maddie from my dad!
Maddie has returned the favor many times, not the least by being K3's "Head Comforter" following her surgeries and convalescence.
Last night I came home from work to find K3 improving nicely from last weeks implants... And Maddie gravely ill in TOG's office. We rushed her to the vet and K3 and I waited and worried until we got the diagnosis that it was a severe intestinal infection and not something terminal as we feared, given the state of the carpets upstairs.
As much as I love that little dog, I think she's even more important to K3, who spent the evening comforting and cuddling her buddy. It's such a joy to see them together...
It's just a bonus that she keeps us safe from squirrels too!
Hugs,

Thank goodness it was nothing major. Random, but my dog is sick, too, just took her to the vet last night. Nice bacterial infection. Poor babies. Glad Maddie is taking care of K3 and vice versa.
They're both precious and both very lucky to have each other. Glad both are on the mend.
Oh no! I am so glad it wasn't worse... Hugs and lots of Nature's Miracle coming your way!
I am so glad Maddie is OK. She and K3 are so cute.
Oh no. Intestinal issues with dogs is no fun at all. I am glad they have each other to comfort.
glad it was nothing serious.
it's awful when your babies are not feeling good.

SO glad to hear Maddie will be okay ... K3 looks so sweet with her friend Maddie ...
that is EXACTLY what was wrong with Bink a few weeks ago... sick sick sick little puppy... I thought she was in serious trouble too... she is absolutely fine right now... love to maddie and K3...
I hope Maddie is feeling her usual self soon! It's no fun when any one in the family is not feeling well, even the 4 legged ones!
Oh that's so sweet. Glad everyone is feeling better.
You have a great site here. I have a travel blog myself which I hope to be a top resource for information on vacation destinations.
I'd like to exchange links with you. Please let me know if this is possible.
